While most celebrities showed up at Art Basel in Miami Beach
to party their faces off, some of them
actually made it to the convention center and surrounding
satellite fairs to see what the weekend is really about ... art.

According to the New York Post, "Jay snapped up a $20,000
painting titled 'Everyone’s Scared' by 31-year-old
Chicagoan Hebru Brantley, who won the Basel showing as a
finalist in the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series produced
with Russell Simmons’ Rush Foundation."

On his website, Brantley classifies his paintings as
"Afro-Futuristic," "Crayon Colered," "New Testament" and "Old
Testament."

Here's what his "Afro-Futuristic" works look like:
